Well, nothing beats a good bullshit on your CV/resume/LinkedIn profile I guess.

Surely the company is now all but dead?There doesn't seem to be anyone there doing the technical hard yards, practically every executive and technical head is gone.And they can't seem to hire anyone new.Just a slow bleed until the remaining money runs out?No one would be dumb enough to invest again given almost every high profile person has left.

Still going, and I'd guess in the midst of a fundraising round just now. Don't be surprised to see another substantial investment round announced in the next two months. That demo will be compelling for those who don't get that the laws of physics don't change over time, and that Moore's Law doesn't apply here. Remember this is a VC world that put $120m into a juicer, and Energous (WATT) has a market cap of $300m. I'd say it's a coin toss as to whether this happens or not, but there's a ton of money out there looking for a home right now, and someone might be dumb enough to use WATT as the benchmark, which would be ironic given the similarities there.

I just told them, that I hope they will get brain cancer from their own product.And I'm dead serious.They remind me of children, trying to charge phones with loaded machine guns or lasers that can blind you, waving some papers, that none of those things can kill you, because we did a test for 0.01s and the machine gun did not hurt anyone. Trying to install it in public places.

Lol!What a laundry list.Perhaps they figure it might be cheaper to hire ONE person to: Invent(oops, Meredith already did the hard part), Design, Prototype, Do the industrial design, Develop for production.A whole team clearly costs too much at this stage!

Isn't it nearer $60m and 6 years. Their steerable phased flat panel is becoming a bit parabolic.

Sorry, I guess I missed that last phase of phunding (sic).

It still looks like a phased array, done in a hexagonal tiles of about 14 x 14 transducers.

I may be mistaken but they appear to have cunningly airbrushed/defocused the transducer stack for some reason. Or maybe it's the air in front of the transducers going into non-linearity and refracting the light.

Meantime, there appears to be a rubber brick attached to the phone, approximately six times the volume of the phone, and probably six times the mass, possibly protecting it from disintegration from the ultrasonic beam. It looks like poor Meredith's nail varnish is suffering delamination already.
